5G NR-PDCCH Channel Overview and Processing
The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in NR carries Downlink Control Information (DCI). In this post we will understand how PDCCH operates by describing its physical layer structure, and the […]
5G NR Global Unique Temporary Identifier (GUTI)
5G Global Unique Temporary Identifier [5G – GUTI] is a core network temporary identifier and allocated by Access and Mobility Management function [AMF] to the UE. GUTI is 80 bits […]
5G and Everyday Consumer Benefits
5G may be the biggest development in network technology in a decade. Yet somewhat surprisingly it tends to be discussed almost entirely on an industry level, or from a technical […]
5G NR Standardized QoS Identifier (5GQI) to QoS Characteristics Mapping
Standardized 5G QoS Identifier (5QI) values are specified for services that are assumed to be frequently used in 5G networks and thus benefit from optimized signalling by using standardized QoS […]
NB-IoT PRBs (Physcial Resource Blocks) for In-Band Operation
NB-IoT or NB-LTE is a new 3GPP radio-access technology. NB-LTE requires 200 kHz minimum system bandwidth for both downlink and uplink, respectively. The choice of minimum system bandwidth enables a […]
Features Comparison: NB-IoT UE Vs LTE UE
Table here list the features comparison between Narrow Band (NB) – IoT UE and Long Term Evolution (LTE) UE Features Narrow Band IoT UE LTE UE Master Information Block (MIB) […]
NFV Management and Orchestration [MANO] Key Performance Indicators [KPIs]
NFV management and orchestration (MANO) systems are being developed to meet the agile and flexible management requirements of virtualized network services in 5G Networks. Regarding this, ETSI ISG NFV has […]
NB-IoT Chipset Market: Increasing Demand for Connected Environment
The global NB-IoT chipset market is expected to register a global CAGR of 40.8% during 2018 – 2028, with Western Europe and North America in conjunction accounting for approximately 30% market value […]
LoRa – Device Re-activation Call Flow (Rejoin Procedure)
LoRa Technology supports the handling and configuration of rejoin-requests for LoRa End Devices. Using a rejoin-request, a device is able to request the network-server to re-activate, without being ‘disconnected’ until […]
LoRa – Device Activation Call Flow (Join Procedure) using OTAA and ABP
When a new End Device (LoRa Device) is added to a LoRa network, it should go through an activation process. Through the activation process, both session keys are shared between the […]
